Fun With Flamingoes.

They're funny fellows, / can tell
you," the captain declared, II met a
man down the coast who told me that
once when he was huntin' on the
Florida low-lands he came upon a whole
colony of fiamingoes among the man
grove trees. He watched their antics
for some time-some standin' on one
leg, some with their long necks in all
sorts of curious positions, some stalking
up and down as solemn as parsons
and he thought it wouldn't be bad
idea to play a joke on them.
$50 lie took q fish line, and when
the birds flew away he fastened one
end of the line to the root of tree and
climbed with the other end up into an
other tree.
Before long the birds came back,
and then the fun began. As soon, rs
one or two stepped across the line, the
man in the tree gave it pull, and the
famingoes began hoppin' and trippin'
and dancin' about now fallin' down.
now jumpin' across and really seemin'
to enjoy it immensely. He actually had
'em all a-skippin' rope, and there's no
tellin' how long they'd kept it up if
it hadn't been so very funny that my
friend couldn't help laughin' out loud;
that frightened them of. That may
seem rather brisk story" said Capt.
Sam; "but from. what I've seen of my
specimen, / fully believe it."-St. Mich

The Trarsdikn, Geo O. MILF, at the
Grand
Toronto Mail, Jan. 10, 'S7

Toronto Mail, Jan. 10, 'S7.
In spite of the inclement weather
last night, Geo. c. Min was greeted
with large and appreciative audience
at the Grand Opera House. The APP
plause which greeted his best efforts
was unanimous and enthusiastic, and
he was recalled before the curtain
after each act. Mr.. Minis portrayal
of the Cardinal was one of marked
merit, and was, save in few trifling
details. logically conceived and carried
out. He presents Richelieu as a man
struggling against the physical exhaus-
ton Of old age. but who trlumphs
over his weakness in time of trial and
disaster by the force of indomitable
will. This reading of the Part is con-
sistently carried.out throughout, which
in the most impressive scenes the old
fire and energy Of the man blazes
forth now and then, the action avoids
the lncongruity of assuming the vigor
o. youth, mistake SO often made by
exponents of the role. Mr.. Miln's
reading and general Interpretation
Of his lines is that Of thoughtful and
cultured student. His treatment OF
the scene with his would.be assassin
De Mauprat, and Of the curse scene
were well wrought out and demonstra.
ted his power as tragedian. On the
other hand there appeared to be a
loss Of power in his delivery of the
lines, "Walk blindfold on-behind
thee stalks the headsman;" or in 9TH
er words, we think Mr.. Min is able
TO deliver them with greater and effect.
Mr. Minis facial expression, as in
dicating the varying emotions which
sway the Cardinal, was remarkably
good and significant. On the whole
it may be considered that he is much
more successful as Richelleu than as
Hamlet. Mr.. William Clifton as
De Mauprat, gave vigorous and
pleasing conception of the youthful
though somewhat dissipated lover.
Miss Louise Jordan as Julie, was very
effective though with tendency tc
draw her words; the other members
of the company filled their parts ac-
ceptably.

Railroads are usually conducted by
shrewd, clear-headed business men who
know good thing when they see it, and
VINO can tell an advantageous location
when they find it. The officers of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad are no excep-
ton to the general rule. Yesterday

over from Dallas for the purpose Of select
ing offices in Fort Worth for an uptown
freight and ticket office, also for a

ments of that system. These gentle
men were accompanied by Mr.. L. D.

duct this branch of the business. Mr..
VOak, to GAZETTE reporter, expressed
himself as being much pleased with Fort

as a headquarters. He thinks it the

superior shipping facilities.

The New York Indicator repeats it's
prophecy that the Northern Pacific Rail
road is likely to fall into the hands of the
Union Pacific by means of the Oregon
and Transcontinental Company. Its
theory is as follows: The common and
preferred stocks of the Northern Pa
citic Company aggregate about
$4,000 shares. A controlling inter
est would be, say, 100000 shares.
The Oregon and Transcontinental already
owns 1876, O81 shares and could obtain alb
solute control of the Northern Pacific by
buying 900 shares, at a cost of from
$40, 800, 900 to $4,000, 900. This may be
so. But supposing the Oregon and Trans
continental did obtain control of
the Northern Pacific, how would
the Union Pacific get con-
troll of the Oregon and Transcon-
tinental? Almost anything is possible in
the way of buying railways, provided the
money can be obtained, but many things
are very unlikely and the Indicators
scheme of turning over the Northern Pa
cifc 70 the Union Pacific is one of these.
